You will be splitting the limited population even further. That’s how. Again, do you not read these forums? There are people every day complaining how they are stuck on a dead server. You want to add MORE servers… GENIUS IDEA!! /facepalm
After playing the game for a few hours I realized this game DEFINITELY needs fresh servers.
You have got to be trolling…
yes spin up new servers don’t let people transfer to them, new world doesn’t have the healthy population enough to support that. I doubt atm there is 1 or 2 servers worth of people that would “start” over. Not sure why anyone with 1000+ hours would ever want that again.
You are free to delete your stuff and “start over” any time on your own. This really only benefits the most toxic players in the user base. (the ones that know what to do and exploit it)
The only way it works as if they designate new servers for accounts less then 1 month old or some other time. or under a certain play time threshold.

Funny, I thought the same thing about your thread. For the record, I most certainly am not trolling. Asking for a “fresh” start for a game that is 6 months old is the dumbest thing I have read on these forums. Hands down.

If it brings in new people or returns people its a great ideal. could always just merge it after like 6 weeks or something. Steam sale, x2 experience weekend after launch and then merge at 6 weeks to a medium / low pop server.
Ugh… I like that AGS listens to the community and suggestions, but this is a perfect example of a suggestion that should be 100% ignored. There are so many things that could be done to bring some players back or even more importantly keep players here. Wasting ANY resources on this horribly thought out idea is a bad idea. Adding more servers while players are currently complaining about not being able to move from dead servers is 100% NOT a good idea.

Why couldn’t they just do exactly what you are saying but on existing servers? Why does creating a “fresh” server need to happen? It makes no sense. There are thousands of suggestions that will bring players back and this has to be at or near the bottom of the list. Adding a new server so players can get a “fresh” start on a SIX MONTH OLD GAME is just the pinnacle of wasted resources.
I don’t understand why people are so mad about this idea. Yes, I do think is too soon right now, and they first need to add more QoL stuff, like balancing city management to allow small pop servers to be able to maintain T5 stations , cross-server OPR / dung finder, server mergers, and so on.
But in a few months, when major bugs are solved and the game is in a more playable state, I would like to see some fresh servers popping, kinda like a relaunch of the game. If you don’t like to start over, that’s completely fine (you’re probably a normal person), you can keep playing on your server and nothing will change. But there are some crazy folks out there that do enjoy these types of things, and by looking at the relative success of other games with these types of servers, it’s not that uncommon. Maybe there is a big enough audience for this type of content.
Also, this encourages new / returning players, cause they will be able to play on a more equalized server (for a while, at least).
A fresh server free from all the gold dupes etc.
No one from the old servers can transfer too, keep the fresh server clean.
If you want to play on that server you have to start from scratch!
Have you ever played on these servers? Honest question here.
It’s actually quite funny, seeing a bunch a low levels running the initial areas, fighting for low level respaws / resources. Having to do the low levels dungeons, with a group of low levels players (and not get carried away by a random max level). Maybe it’s not something you enjoy, and that’s ok, but it’s something you just can’t replicate in an old server.
And yes, after a while these servers do tend to become just like normal servers, the hype dies and they become a ghost town. But for some people, those moments leveling with other players on a equal playing field, it’s a blast and is worth doing it, even if it doesn’t last long.
Yeah I completely agree. Even if the experience only last 6 weeks. I just joined a old server and started levelling on it… The game doesn’t feel anything like how it was on launch. I don’t even like the x2 xp because you out level everything faster as you go, so its hard to actually find a challenge. Something that launch did right. If you just followed the story and side quest you were underleveled, and doing it was a challenge.
The whole “fresh” experience is WAY better than taking a character on an old server and levelling it. If any of you naysayers remember what it was like at launch, go on an old server and level a new character to 20. The experience is completely different and quite frankly the current experience is inferior to what it was like. It’s was great at launch as a “fresh” server and now its mediocre. The current experience is pushing people away from making this a long term game.
I haven’t switched to my 60 char to try the new end game content, see if that has improved, but from what im hearing it doesnt sound great.
I also don’t get why people are getting so mad about this idea. The time and resources it would take to add 1 server to each region, most of which would be poplated by players who ARENT playing the game, therefore would not effect the population.
Like just let it happen, and see what happens. It might only be 6 month old game but the initial experience is very important to retain players. I don’t see how this could be a bad thing.
But I suppose the forums are mostly active with people who are actively playing the game. And they dont want to risk the servers being more dead (although its irrational) I can pull up a list of 100’s of post that all want the same thing. People who want fresh servers. But sure go and believe that this will somehow hurt the population. Its ludicrious!
Heres what I believe will happen. Either they release servers and they will all be high pop servers mostly from players who aren’t in the player base. Or the thing will flop and there will barely be anyone playing. Risk vs Reward. The risk is it will “destroy” the old population… because everyone will rather play that? And it will be a ghost town on other servers? HIGHLY DOUBT. More logically the risk is that the “fresh servers” will flop and it will have a slight increase to the population. Reward: reintroduces/introduces 1000’s of more players to the game, who can have an enjoyable levelling to 60 experience and than maybe only the game will retain 10% of those players for long-term. I think this is what would most likely to happen if they release fresh servers now.
Other MMOs have been very successful with “fresh” servers in the past. It would take them switching the flip on 1 server for each region, locking transfers and letting it happen. Where would all this time and resources even come from?
Normally i would argue against this idea, but hell, why not? Its like when i am at the casino, wasted all my money and down to my last $20. Just go all in and call it a night.
Just join a low pop server. There are tons
There is to be no “riding of gold sellers” allowed in new world as mounts are not allowed.
“Fresh start” servers are a TERRIBLE idea.
Three month wipes, full loot open pvp, faster exp, local trade posts
open world pvp.
u cant lvl up like a crack to fight lower guys then, cuz there are allready 60’s…
thats what he want i guess 
dominate people who play less
Well true, but im fan of ags , so i should remind them what will be happen ,if they open new servers in rush , why cuz people ask? No hell , so i just told them befor next mess show up.
Its not first time i saw people ask for fresh start in forum of a game, gold Sellers gona keep ask for fresh server , few new player and some old people will join and ask them , but winer is gold seller and company behind of game is loser , cuz all complain is for them and fresh meat is for gold sellers , they should care about this part. With baning seller nothing will be change untill they stop trading gold/item , like ffo/bdo did.
90% post are old xD, nice try. We do not want fresh server, we want one big server.
